IDENTITY AND ACCESS MANAGEMENT MARKET OVERVIEW

the global identity and access management market size was valued at USD 25.34 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 87.75 billion by 2033, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.9% from 2025 to 2033.

An IAM system in a BFSI environment is a methodology of the business process that supports the management of electronic identities. This framework is composed of the technology that concerns identity and access management. IAM technology can be applied to capture, create, document and monitor user tenure and access rights within a firm through the process of automation. This means that all persons/individuals and services find the correct authentication and authorization as well as be checked properly for audit.

Identity and access management (IAM) solutions define and protect an organization’s identity. Pursuing concerns on security due to the increase in the number of cyberattacks and the changes in the threat landscape is expected to drive the IAM market in the future. The trends in remote working and superimposition of IAM rules with inexorable use of Cloud-based platforms and applications are predicted to dictate consistently increasing demand for IAM in the next few years. IAM companies can also make their IAM offering incorporate other technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning to enhance the application’s scope for the long term.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Identity and Access Management Industry Had a Positive Effect Due to hastened the rise of remote working during COVID-19 Pandemic

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic significantly hastened the rise of remote working, which changed the focus of IAM from securing access for a centralized workforce to doing the same for a decentralized one. These uncertain conditions led to the rise of remote work, resulting in a larger attack surface exponentially in terms of threats aimed at precious information and business continuity; therefore, IAM solutions are critical. Therefore, more focus was given to the acquisition of IAM on cloud, MFA and the zero-trust security framework to address new risks and support remote employees securely.    

LATEST TREND

Cloud-Based IAM Solutions Drive Market Growth

The adoption of IAM as a cloud solution is the current trend in the global IAM market. Cyber IAM refers to Cloud Identity and Access Management or Cloud IAM is a critical system designed to protect business assets used in numerous cloud services. It regulates users’ access by requiring them to prove their identity when requesting service and provides service to those who are acceptable to it. IAM also effectively locks out those users who have no authorization to be in the areas that are restricted. IAM makes it possible for security professionals to supervise access requests and other activities that may look fishy. It includes consolidation of views for cloud service, cloud resource management, ease of configurations, and cloud security across different cloud service providers. Specifications on IAM make it free from the need to access software distribution in the cloud, making work remote. It is easy for the user to access the resource from anywhere since there is centrality in the IAM based on cloud solutions to simplify the user access control mechanism.
